ATP is able to power cellular processes.
- All living things contain the energy-carrying molecule adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in their cells. When food molecules are broken down, chemical energy is released that is captured by ATP and used to power other cellular operations.
- To drive metabolic events that would not happen naturally, to transfer necessary molecules across membranes, and to do mechanical labour, such as moving muscles, cells need chemical energy.
- By adding a phosphate group to another molecule, ATP can drive biological operations (a process called phosphorylation). Special enzymes are responsible for carrying out this transfer, which connects the cellular processes that need energy to the release of energy from ATP.
- Although ATP is constantly broken down by cells to provide energy, ATP is also constantly created by cellular respiration from ADP and phosphate.
- The nitrogenous base adenine, the sugar ribose, and a chain of three phosphate groups linked to ribose are the three primary components of the nucleotide ATP. The actual source of energy that the cell uses is the phosphate tail of ATP. The bonds between the phosphates hold the available energy, which is released when they are broken by the addition of a water molecule (a process called hydrolysis).
Hence, the role of ATP is to provide power to cellular activities.
